I've sent an email to all the addresses I have. Please, if I missed someone forward the info.
Robert needs a head count ASAP. He needs to reserve the campground very soon.
We need to know if you plan to come, even if it's just a maybe. We'd rather plan for too many, than not enough.
We also need to know how long you plan to stay (Fri - evening to Sun Morning, etc). And whether you plan to camp.
If you plan to be there please send Robert the $70
I will try and update this post as I find out who will be there and who won't.
Yes
Robert and Family (Fri, Sat and Sun. breakfast)
Dave and Myrna
Jonathan , Jolene, 2 kids(Fri. evening to Sunday morning - not camping)
Ty, Michelle and 2 boys
Kelly, Ryan and kids
Greg
John and Mary and kids

Here is a link to all the fun things happening in Provo that weekend

More Information!
Robert has reserved the campground NUNs Park in the Provo Canyon (Picnic Group Area 1) for Friday night's dinner. The campgrounds are only available first come first serve so he will have to set up tents on a few of the camp sites the night before. He will need to know who plans to camp.
An alternative:
A great Friday morning activity , if you plan to arrive early, would be to see the new Church motion-picture at the Joseph Memorial building across from Temple Square - the show is free every hour and a half.
It will be $15 per night for camping fees per family- ( including $5.00 per family for the Group use area- reserved separately@ $40 per evening or morning) Complete cost for those getting a hotel to come soon.
We will only need the Group area two times (Friday night for dinner/campfire and maybe Saturday Morning for Breakfast) after the hot Air Balloon festival.
The Provo sponsored pancake 8AM breakfast may not be the best timing for everyone
An alternative:
Possible Hotels: (more to come)
La Quinta Inn off of 800 North (near the freeway) - they have several rooms available.
La Quinta Inn Orem - 1100West 780 North, Orem - (801) 235-9555
The Provo river bike trail runs through the campground and goes to Bridal Veil Falls. A great scenic ride, walk, etc.
A great Friday morning activity , if you plan to arrive early, would be to see the new Church motion-picture at the Joseph Memorial building across from Temple Square - the show is free every hour and a half.
In order to be back in Provo to set up camp and float the river you would need to leave SLC by 1pm. More details about this to come.
There is also a Community Swimming pool
And Utah Lake - Robert has a boat and wouldn't mind taking people out, but it would have to be Satuday afternoon and would be a several hour event.

2010 Family Reunion
(This is typed by Jolene , but the words are an email from Robert:)
"I am excited to host the reunion in Utah around the 4th of July because there is so much to do here in July.
I have a tentative outline for the 2 day -2 night reunion. Reyna's family has a big extended family reunion every year and the attitude of most people who travel from far is that they want to make the trip for several days if they are going to travel from outside of Utah. This makes a good plan for Friday- Saturday and then travel back on Sunday- Monday to their home.
- We are looking into a few different campsites near our home. We could use our home for preparing food and showers, and base camp. The campsite would be only 15 minutes our home. Group sites are hard to get for the 4th weekend so reserving 4-5 individual sites would probably do just fine. Each site allows two cars and 8 adults. So we could put two families in a site.
This is our thought on the schedule:
Arrive Friday day (afternoon?)- for a quick trip to SLC and the tour of temple square area or "This is the place Monument -park". Floating the Provo river in the late afternoon - you can rent tubes and we have several rafts too. it is a 1 hour float about 2 hours for the whole affair.
Saturday morning there is a hot air balloon festival in Provo followed by a pancake breakfast, then the big Freedom parade in Provo ( it has national attendance and state-wide participants) and then maybe water skiing on Utah Lake for the afternoon then BBQ dinner in the park (KFC) with the fireworks - Fireworks show will be on Saturday night in Utah. This is a Firework show like only few large cities have. The Kids can also light fireworks that are for sale everywhere.
The Holiday will be Monday and this will allow people to travel back home on Sunday or Monday. If people choose to stay Sunday they can visit temple square or other SLC sites , Great Salt lake, etc.
The cost would be$70 for each family. This would probably cover 4 meals (dinner and breakfast) and campsite for the couple days. We can plan the rest as we get people committed to come."
I think it sounds super fun!
We will send out fliers and stamped envelopes so you can get your money to Robert before May 1st (tentatively).
